< 1 Samuel 6 >
1 So the Arke of the Lord was in the countrey of the Philistims seuen moneths.
ヱホバの櫃七月のあひだペリシテ人の國にあり
2 And the Philistims called the priests and the soothsayers, saying, What shall we doe with the Arke of the Lord? tell vs wherewith we shall send it home againe.
ペリシテ人祭司と卜筮師をよびていひけるは我らヱホバの櫃をいかがせんや如何にして之をもとの所にかへすべきか我らにつげよ
3 And they sayd, If you send away the Arke of the God of Israel, send it not away emptie, but giue vnto it a sinne offering: then shall ye be healed, and it shall be knowen to you, why his hand departeth not from you.
答へけるはイスラエルの神の櫃をかへすときはこれを空しくかへすなかれ必らず彼に過祭をなすべし然なさば汝ら愈ことをえ且彼の手の汝らをはなれざる故を知にいたらん
4 Then sayd they, What shalbe the sinne offring, which we shall giue vnto it? And they answered, Fiue golden emerods and fiue golden mise, according to the number of the princes of the Philistims: for one plague was on you all, and on your princes.
人々いひけるは如何なる過祭を彼になすべきや答へけるはペリシテ人の諸君主の數にしたがひて五の金の腫物と五の金の鼠をつくれ是は汝ら皆と汝らの諸伯におよべる災は一なるによる
5 Wherefore ye shall make the similitudes of your emerods, and the similitudes of your mise that destroy the land: so ye shall giue glory vnto the God of Israel, that he may take his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land.
汝らの腫物の像および地をあらす鼠の像をつくりイスラエルの神に榮光を皈すべし庶幾はその手を汝等およびなんぢらの神と汝等の地にくはふることを軽くせん
6 Wherefore then should ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let them goe, and they departed?
汝らなんぞエジプト人とパロの其心を頑にせしごとくおのれの心をかたくなにするや神かれらの中に數度其力をしめせしのち彼ら民をゆかしめ民つひにさりしにあらずや
7 Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on whome there hath come no yoke: and tye the kine to the cart, and bring the calues home from them.
されば今あたらしき車一輛をつくり乳牛のいまだ軛をつけざるもの二頭をとり其牛を車に繋ぎ其犢をはなして家につれゆき
8 Then take the Arke of the Lord, and set it vpon the cart, and put the iewels of gold which ye giue it for a sinne offering in a coffer by the side thereof, and send it away, that it may go.
ヱホバの櫃をとりて之を其車に載せ汝らが過祭として彼になす金の製作物を檟にをさめて其傍におき之をおくりて去らしめ
9 And take heede, if it goe vp by the way of his owne coast to Beth-shemesh, it is he that did vs this great euill: but if not, we shall know then, that it is not his hand that smote vs, but it was a chance that happened vs.
しかして見よ若し其境のみちよりベテシメシにのぼらばこの大なる災を我らになせるものは彼なり若ししかせずば我等をうちしは彼の手にあらずしてそのことの偶然なりしをしるべし
10 And the men did so: for they tooke two kine that gaue milke, and tied them to the cart, and shut the calues at home.
人々つひに斯なし二つの乳牛をとりて之を車につなぎその犢を室にとぢこめ
11 So they set the Arke of the Lord vpon the cart, and the coffer with the mise of golde, and with the similitudes of their emerods.
ヱホバの櫃および金の鼠と其腫物の像ををさめたる檟を車に載す
12 And the kine went the streight way to Beth-shemesh, and kept one path and lowed as they went, and turned neither to the right hand nor to the left: also the Princes of the Philistims went after them, vnto the borders of Beth-shemesh.
牝牛直にあゆみてベテシメシの路をゆき鳴つつ大路をすすみゆきて右左にまがらずペリシテ人の君主ベテシメシの境まで其うしろにしたがひゆけり
13 Nowe they of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheate haruest in the valley, and they lift vp their eyes, and spied the Arke, and reioyced when they sawe it.
時にベテシメシ人谷に麥を刈り居たりしが目をあげて其櫃をみ之を見るをよろこべり
14 And the cart came into the fielde of Ioshua a Beth-shemite, and stood still there. There was also a great stone, and they claue the wood of the cart, and offered the kine for a burnt offring vnto the Lord.
車ベテシメシ人ヨシユアの田にいりて其處にとどまる此に大なる石あり人々車の木を劈り其牝牛を燔祭としてヱホバにささげたり
15 And the Leuites tooke downe the Arke of the Lord, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the iewels of golde were, and put them on the great stone, and the men of Beth-shemesh offred burnt offring, and sacrificed sacrifices that same day vnto the Lord.
レビの人ヱホバの櫃とこれとともなる檟の金の製作物ををさめたる者をとりおろし之を其大石のうへにおくしかしてベテシメシ人此日ヱホバに燔祭をそなへ犠牲をささげたり
16 And when the fiue Princes of ye Philistims had seene it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
ペリシテ人の五人の君主これを見て同じ日にエクロンにかへれり
17 So these are the golden emerods, which the Philistims gaue for a sinne offering to the Lord: for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, and for Ekron one,
さてペリシテ人が過祭としてヱホバにたせし金の腫物はこれなり即ちアシドドのために一ガザのために一アシケロンのために一ガテのために一エクロンのために一なりき
18 And golden mise, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistims, belonging to the fiue princes, both of walled townes, and of townes vnwalled, vnto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set the Arke of the Lord: which stone remaineth vnto this day in the fielde of Ioshua the Beth-shemite.
また金の鼠は城邑と郷里をいはず凡て五人の君主に屬するペリシテ人の邑の數にしたがひて造れりヱホバの櫃をおろせし大石今日にいたるまでベテシメシ人ヨシユアの田にあり
19 And hee smote of the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked in the Arke of the Lord: he slew euen among the people fiftie thousand men and three score and ten men. and the people lamented, because the Lord had slaine the people with so great a slaughter.
ベテシメシの人々ヱホバの櫃をうかがひしによりヱホバこれをうちたまふ即ち民の中七十人をうてりヱホバ民をうちて大にこれをころしたまひしかば民なきさけべり
20 Wherefore the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God? and to whom shall he go from vs?
ベテシメシ人いひけるは誰かこの聖き神たるヱホバのまへに立つことをえんヱホバ我らをはなれて何人のところにのぼりゆきたまふべきや
21 And they sent messengers to the inhabitans of Kiriath-iearim, saying, The Philistims haue brought againe the Arke of the Lord: come ye downe and take it vp to you.
かくて使者をキリアテヤリムの人に遣はしていひけるはペリシテ人ヱホバの櫃をかへしたれば汝らくだりて之を汝らの所に携へのぼるべし
